Lori,

I would suggest that you instead make a Character Tag in Frame that 
is applied in your cross-reference formats. The Character tag would 
use all elements AS IS, except for color. I recommend a dark blue.

That is what we do. The PDF can then be submitted to the printer  and 
as an online file. You will have to experiment for the correct color 
for black and white printing and screen legibility.
